the Eastern Extension Company, for an

ton that the Chinese pay the same rate

sixteen years. Considerable indigna-

to obtain monopoly.
Later reports from China respecting
the China-American banking and tcle-
graph syndicate for which Mitkiewicz
negotiated the concession, are very con
hicting. It is stated that Yen, presi-

strongly petitioned the Empress not to
grant the proposed concessions. The
China Merchants Company has repu-
dated all connection with the syndi-

Eulogizing Beeoher

New YoRK, October O. Rev. DR..
Parker, Of the City Temple, London,
who is to pronounce an eulogy on
Henry Ward Beecher in Brooklyn
Acadsmy of Music on Monday night,
preached to-day in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn. in the pulpit where his friend
stood for four years. His subject was
mot here, but risen." The sermon was
largely memorial discourse.
The ofatOry OF DIR. Parker is simple
aud unaffected. There is an occasional
betrayal of English idioms in his
speech. As rule, the opinions of bis
hearers were favorable to him, and it
was predicted by some that call would
be extended to him by the church. DR..
Parker has declined to state whether he
would accept a call. The church, to-
day, was crowded beyond its utmost
capacity, and many were unable to gain
admission.

A GROWING EVIL.
Times. Democrat


The Department of Public
Health of the State of Iowa,
which is Prohibition. complains
that there are 10000 confirmed
opium eaters in the State, and re.
commends that the sale of this
drug be prohibited.
The Galveston News thinks that
this increase is due to the adopt.
ion Of prohibition in Iowa, and de.
clares that the number of opium
fends has greatly increased since
whisky went out and that those in.
yeterate drunkards who formerly
drowned their sorrows IN the
flowing bowl do so to-day by hit
ting the pipe or with hypodermic
doses. The taking of opium in
Iowa is almost wholly of recent
origin. The Department of Health
recognizes the fact that the use OF
this dangerous narcotic is increas.
ing, and for the first time calls at.
tention to it and demands an addi
tional prohibitory law directed
against opium as well as whisky
Iowa has been very fertile in its
prohibition laws, but it is difficult
to see how 1t is going to effectually
prevent the use OF opium. Ii
may prohibit the sale of it by
drug stores except on prescrlp
ton, but opium is much less bulky
an article than whisky and it will
be well nigh impossible to prevent
its being smugglod into State.
China has tried several times TO
break up the habit, but the most
tyrannical and autocratic proceed
iDgs of the Chinese government
have failed to accomplish any
thing. IF Iowa makes the attempt
NJ The Health Board recommends,
1t will be watched with consider
able interest by other States.

Louisiana LeYee Prospects.

One of the first American jour.
nalists remarked when the eOun-
try was anxious TO resume specie
pasment, that 'the way to resume,
is to resume.p Our Louisiana
friends have at last resolved that
the way to protect their lands and
property from overflow is to pro-
teet them.
The proceedings of the Loui.
sian Leyee Commissioners at Tai.
lulah, as published in yesterdays
Commercial Herald should inspire
the residents of the Fifth District
with hope and courage. It should
do more and we firmly believe will
do more, 1t will rapidly increase
the value of the lands and all other
property In the District. The tax
leviedi is very light one compared
to what the Mississippi Leyee Dist
rict paid for years and years. That
the Commissioners leviedit at this
time and marked out the work to
be done; and Will let it out so it
can be done IN the Fall when the
weather is usually favorable and
the water low, shows that they
mean business. If they had met
and quibbled about the tax and
adopted the pennywise and pound
foolish policy, the people would
have had cause ofcomplaint. The
Commissioners are acting ON the
right policy and with commenda
tble energy 1t takes leyees to
protect Mississippi Valley lands
and it takes Levee Commissioners
with the seuse and determination
to raise the money and have th'
work done.-Commercial Herald.

GIRDLING TREES.

In the Scientific American for
October 16, 1886, is an article en-.
titled Remarkable Tree Growth
after Girdling,p 1t is singular that
in the August previous, had a
large whitewood or tulip tree,
which suppose is the same rs
"poplarn in the article referred to
and as il was very tail and shaded
the ground, and could not be cut
down on account of the crops, |
girdled 1t about 8 #. above the
ground, by cutting away all the
bark for about 4 in., aud also cut
ting out the wood all around, that
no sap wood might remain, ex.
pecting TO see II soon wither and
die, as the weather was hot and
dry at the time. But it continued
green and the leaves did not turn
or fall off in the fall sooner than
other trees. | then saw your article
in the October number, and left
the tree to see what it would do.
1t put out leaves, was full of bios.
SONS, and made as much growth
as though the bark had not been
taken off. The wood now is black
and rotten for the depth Of three.
fourths of an inch, and the bark
is dead about 8 in. below the cut,
but above the bark is alive to with.
in one.half an inch Of the cut. The
wood has deca yed SO much that q
growth of fungus is around it in
places, like toadstools. The tree
is 6S in. in circumference at the
cut, and between so and 100 #.
high, and is now as thrifty as any
of its kind, therefore it is not fed
by the sap going between the bark
and the wood.

prehends two general depart

Science, Literature and the Arts !;
the other a school of Law. The
principle that distinguishes the
scheme of the departments of
Sciences, Literature and the Arts,
is that of the selection of courses.
A student may choose any one of
three courses, or under restrie-
sion as to the sufliciency of his
work, may pursue a course of
strictly select studies. The three
recognized courses are: LIST, that
for the Bachelor of Arts, which is
the old classical course; 2nd, that
for the Bachelor OF Science, which
omits Greek and takes in more of
scientific study three for the de-
gree of Bachelor Of Philosophy, in
which the student is allowed to
take any seven of the ten co ordI.

There is also u subordinate de.
partment called the Sub Fresh

is to bring on students who come
insuillclently prepared to enter

In your issue of May Ia, in an

not fairly answer the question.

under a large cherry tree. The
limbs of the tree projected nearly

but not quite in direct line with
the snake, was slender cedar tree
whose top was about 4 #. below
the nearest branch, and about 10
#. from tho body of the tree. The
snake lay on the opposite side OF

easily kill the snake, and threw one
at it, but did not hit it. In an in.
